Ben Fordham has confronted a climate protester on air after the activist spent 17 days in jail.

Climate protest Andrew George contacted Ben Fordham Live soon after his release from prison.

George stormed onto the field during an NRL match with a flare.

“I’m more afraid of climate breakdown than I am of prison,” he told Ben Fordham.
